LadyLux guide: Father’s Day
If your dad’s shopping list hasn’t alerted you, it’s that time of the year again. Although he’s been sending you links to Home Depot, sometimes it’s nice to give a dad a chic surprise. Whether he’s a reader, cook, sassy dresser or watch wearer—LadyLux has all the bases covered.
1. Mercer Hat by Stetson
This all-American brand features tons of great hats, from trendy to timeless. However, my favorite has got to be the Mercer fedora. Available in this neutral brown tone, it’ll match all dad’s plaids but also be great for a night out with Mom.
2. Black Carene Pens by Waterman
Does dad have a habit of collecting free pens? Transform his look from Joe Shmoe to James Bond with these classic state-of-art fountain pens. Crafted in France, these sophisticated writing tools will have onlookers admiring your father’s penmanship in no time.
3. Plain Architect Shirt by Boden
Known for their classic cuts in a multitude of colors, Boden is the place to go to stock up on all dad’s wardrobe essentials. Whether your dad knows is style savvy or not, these classic button up will suit him just fine. Plus, it looks great under a bomber… or a nice blazer.
4. Retro Sunglasses in Dark Havana by Giorgio Armani
Wait, is that George Clooney? Nope, that’s pops. People might mistake him for a star in these classic shades in a cool tortoiseshell casing. Made in Italy with 100% UV protection, the stylish accessory will be a great addition to his wardrobe.
5. Dog Tag Cuff Links by Gucci
These cuffs, sold at Saks, are so popular that the department store has to limit style hungry shoppers to 3 pairs a month! Who knew men were so crazy about cuff links? In classic sterling silver, dad can pop this pair on pretty much any collared shirt and become instantly sophisticated.
6. Jimmy’Z watch by Dolce & Gabbana
His wrist will never go unnoticed in the modern-faced stainless steel watch. The leather strap softens up the large face a bit so his designer timepiece is subtle yet classy.
7. The Good Stuff Cookbook by Spike Mendelsohn
If your dad is one to splurge on a big burger or milkshake (like mine) then this cookbook is a great buy for your old guy. Spike gives the do’s and dont’s of yummy diner food—from fancy burgers to creamy milkshakes. Next dinner? A date with dad!
8. Silver Money Clip by Burberry
Now that tight pants are in style, the pockets are getting smaller! Save space and get your ol’man a money clip. Want to personalize your present? Engrave something special for dad.
9. Green Madras Classics by Toms Shoes
Dad will feel good and comfortable in these madras-printed slip ons. Plus, for every pair you buy, Toms donates a pair of shoes to a child in need. What dad doesn’t love supporting a cause?
10. Cleansing Bar by Tom Ford for Men
Men may not reach for the body wash but every guy loves a good bar of soap. Replace his soap on a rope for this classy alternative by Tom Ford. Instead of reaching for the simple generics or borrowing mom’s bath products, you’ll see dad asking for his Tom Ford cleansing bar in no time.
